My sister has been trying to convince me to buy this coffeemaker for years, since she loves hers. I have to agree: this percolator is by far better than what I had. The coffee is stronger, and it keeps it very hot, which helps if you add milk. The process takes less than two minutes, and I love the result. Hope you do, too!

This is our second Farberware coffee pot. Seems Farberware's quality has taken a dive. I read the review where the lady got shocked from her Farberware 12 cup peculator. Same thing happened to us. Our GFI outlet began to trip intermittently when we would make coffee. At first I thought some water had gotten inside the unit but I disassembled it and found it dry. So I temporally disconnected the ground from the unit and found that the pot was 50 volts AC above ground but only when the unit got hot. Obviously power through the thermostat or heating element is contacting the metal pot. Unfortunately I can't figure out which one is at fault, so I plan to replace the thermostat and see if that fixes the problem. This is our last Farberware anything.

We recieved our Farberware 12 cup percolator as a shower present 15 years ago. We have actually been using it for about 10 years. We are no longer using it and will probably bring it to the recycling center nex trip because as another reviewer mentioned it is very easy to get a terrible shock from the unit. My husband was making the coffee and touched the unit and the sink and wham! Thank GOd he is fine, but this happened and we didnt realize why. The plug is not grounded! We do have the ground fault outlets in our kitchen, but the plug on the pot only has 2 prongs. I searched online and I was not able to find a plug with 3 prongs for a ground. Has anyone else discovered one? Please be very careful.These are very dangerous coffee pots.

I've had problems in the past with coffee not being hot enough - not with this percolator! It brews a good, hot cup of coffee each time. The only negative I can think of is the instructions recommend that after you brew the coffee that you take the cup with the grinds out of the percolator while it warms. There really isn't an easy way of doing that since they are metal and you will burn your hand each time unless you use a mitt of some kind. It says you don't have to use a filter but I use a standard coffee maker filter and push it in so that clean up is easier.

I own several Farberware products that I received as wedding presents 27 years ago. Those items, an electric frying pan and a 4 cup percolator still work well with heavy use. 1 1/2 years ago I purchased an 8 cup Farberware Percolator. Made good coffee for 1 1/2 years and then the plug in portion of the bottom of the pot broke apart. Very disappointed in the quality of the product!
